I posted the following earlier but I guess that since it
is a statement rather than a question no one replied.

--When I tried to find info on "Pick from List" in Help by
searching for the word "pick" I could not find any
reference to it, although the topic can be found by
further searching for say the word "repetitive"--

I would like to know the reason why the search facility in
Help does not find "Pick" or indeed "Pick from List"
especially when the latter is a command on the shortcut
menu
 
I don't know.

But I've added the "what's this" button to my toolbar. It can be found in
Tools|Customize|Commands Tab|(near the bottom). Drag it to your favorite
(custom?) toolbar.

Its icon looks like an arrow and a question mark. If you click on that "what's
this" icon, then right click on a cell, then click on "pick from list", you'll
get a "Pick from List--Displays a list of possible Autocomplete entries".

(You can also just right click on a cell, highlight that option, then hit
Shift-F1 (context help).)

And then you could use Autocomplete in your search of help.

It may not help this time, but maybe the next time....
